Welcome to Lake Prosthetics and Research
 

Chris Lake, L/C.P.O., F.A.A.O.P., is that rare medical professional who bridges the gap between real world practicality and a deep understanding of what cutting edge technology can offer both today and in the years ahead.

Lake Prosthetics and Research is a full-service practice specializing in upper limb prosthetics.  Located near the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, our firm is convenient to patients within the Metroplex as well as those flying to North Texas from across the country or abroad. Chris also consults nationally and internationally with prosthetic colleagues, manufacturers, attorneys and insurance companies.

Why Choose an Upper Limb Specialist?

Upper limb cases are the most difficult to treat successfully. Many patients come to us after suffering severe trauma. Each physical scenario is unique and often compounded by tissue damage and sensitivity. Chris Lake has built a global reputation as one of the few prosthetic experts as comfortable advising nanotech researchers in the lab as he is working with patients in an exam room. His basic philosophy is simple – an artificial limb is a tool that should work in the real world and feel comfortable.

The Process

There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to upper limb patients. The development, fitting and follow up of an upper-limb prosthesis is a complicated, ever changing process.  Successful outcomes hinge on the expertise and communication skills of the prosthetist. Patients are an integral part of the team. Chris Lake approaches each case as the beginning of a lifelong partnership and uses his extensive knowledge and experience to empower patients to meet their goals.
